Fixed: A fixed rate of interest remains the same and does not change for the duration of the term.

Gross: Gross rates do not take into account deductions of UK income tax.

Nominated account: A nominated account is a current account that we link to your savings account. It should be a UK personal bank or building society account in your name(s) that accepts Direct Debits.

Interest will be paid after the deduction of tax at the prevailing rate, unless instructed otherwise.

Conditions for bonus payment

None

Withdrawal arrangement Partial withdrawals aren't permitted.

You can't withdraw the funds from your Account prior to maturity. However, we may allow you to close your account during the fixed term at our discretion in exceptional circumstances. By exceptional circumstances we mean an event outside your control, that you could not have reasonably foreseen when you opened the bond, that is likely to cause you significant financial or personal detriment, i.e. bankruptcy or diagnosis of a terminal illness. For clarity a house purchase would not typically classify as an exceptional circumstance unless failure to purchase the house would cause you significant personal detriment. All closure requests must be sent in writing to us and include an explanation of the exceptional circumstance surrounding your request. We may ask for evidence and/or further information to be provided. Early closure is usually subject to a breakage fee (outlined in the Terms & Conditions) meaning you could get back less than you originally invested.
